2/6/09 All About My Book
I am still reading Send Me Down a Miracle. This still a good part if you don't like the first part of it you should Keep on reading because it get a lot better. My book is a the part where Charity is no longer aloud to go and see Adrienne. Charity's dad got mad because every one that is living in that town is going and worshipping a CHAIR they think that it is the holy chair and the God sat in it. I think that every one is just thinking what they want to think and not about what is real. Charity thinks that is all real too. Here is one good reason I would never go bake because Adrienne gave her what they call the devils drink which is really wine. Charity said that it was not good but she most not have listened because Adrienne pored her a glass too and told that back in L.A infants drink it and that it did not do anything to them.
Charity took the drink and she swallowed. She said that it burned and then is kind of tasted sweet like she was in L.A. with Adrienne. Then Old Higgs puled up and so Charity hid her glass so he would see it because if he did he would tell her dad. Anna went missing but they found her and that is what her came to say and while he was telling them he seen her glass. All that he did was smile at her tolled her to tell
her dad that they found Anna. He also said that He wanted to pray to the chair again that night but Adrienne she would not be home. Old Higgs did not know if they were aloud or not but when went to ask again she was already in the house.
1/23/09 All about my book
I am reading a book that is called Send Me Down a Miracle. I think that it is very good book. If you read this book at the beginning it is a little boring but them wants you get some were in it you just can't really find a place to stop because it has so many things going on that there is not a boring part well so far any way. My book is manly about this girl that is an artist and has moved to this small little town and every one likes her or that is how they are acting now but at the beginning they acted like they did not like her. All by the way her name is Adrienne. So right now everyone likes her but Charity's dad any way.Charity's dad is a very big God believer and Adrienne really does not think that there is a real god. Charity likes the artist because she said that she had the soul of an artist and the her soul was Charity's soul.
Then they went to a picnic that Charity's dad has every year and that is when Adrienne came out of her house after 1 month. The reason that she was in there was because she was trying to think of new ways for her art well that is what I think she was doing. When she came though she said that god came to see her and that he was in her chair and every time that he would come back he would look even more beautiful than the time before. When she said that it made everyone want to see the chair and that they would do anything so that they could. but the Mad Joe stood in front of the door so that could not go in but they were ready to go through him too. That was when Charity's dad stepped up and said that he did not think god really came to see her. Then Charity thought that Adrienne was crying and so she ran and started telling people to leave that they were making it bad for everyone.
.................................................... 1/22/09 Persuade
I would persuade my character to be less obsessed with this artist. I would do that because all she thinks about is how Adrienne would do something. She just got this new outfit and is going to wear it to Sunday school but she only wanted it because Adrienne wears. I think she should have her thoughts and stiles because if she is the same as her then it will get very BORING! She should also think about herself a little bit more I mean it's good that she thinks about other people but she still needs to think about your self. I think she should think about herself because she has a very low self thought like she thinks that she should have to look like Adrienne to look O.k. Her thinking about other people and only thinking that she looks OK because she looks like someone else and only wanting to do and to look like Adrienne are very bad habits. That's the reason that I think she should change those things.
......................................................... 1/21/09 Send Me Down a Miracle
One big thing that happened in my book today is that the people in the little town are having a big picnic. And that their is a women who just moved in and she is an artist and right now really no one likes her. The picnic is a big thing because the artist wants to make it up to people for not being nice from the start. At the picnic they have a coffin as the ice box because the people that are selling them think that if they use the coffin for other things that people will want to by one.

1/6/09Opinion on my main character
One opinion of my main character Dawn is that she is scared of what might happen to her. She has leukaemia. She always wants to cry. She would not leave her room at her house so her dad led her out. I also think that she is strong because she has a lot on her hands and she wont even cry. She keeps telling herself not to cry that it want help at all. She keeps trying to make it out that she is not scared so that her mom and dad will not be. I also think that she is a very caring person.She has another person that is staying in the same room with her and when she got back from her treatment Dawn tried to talk to her. The girl Sandy was to week to talk bake she could barley move so the doctor had to pick her up and put her into her bed. I over all think that Dawn is a very good and strong person bot deep down she is very scared of what is going to happen next.
................................................ 1/5/09 My Goals
(1 One of my goals is to make my handwriting better.
(2 I would also like to learn how to read faster that what I do.
The reason that I want to make my handwriting better is so that people can read it essayer. Like when we are getting a test graded the teacher could read it if I make it netter. If I made my handwriting better it could bring my grade up because they could read it. I think that good handwriting is very important. I think that it is important because then not only you but every body could read it a lot better. The main reason that I want my hand writing to be better is so that people can read it. That is way I want to make my handwriting better.
I want to learn how to read faster so that I can get more books read. I also want to get a lot of books read so that I will know what I want to read when I am in junior high. I want books to make more since to me and if I can read faster it will make more since. I want to have almost 100 books read by the end of the year. I also think that the more that you read the better off that you will be. I want to read faster so that I can finish the books that I am reading. If I am on a book the has one or two more books with it then I could just go from one book to the other.
.............................................................. 12/16/08 The Problem in My Book
In my book, the kids that are staying at Jenny House for the summer are having a problem. Well unless you don't think that Jenny House burning down is not a problem. The fire all started in an elevator shaft. Katie, Lacey and Chellsea thought that Dullas started the fire and they blamed it all on her. Then they found out the truth. The girls all said that they were sorry and she asked why that they thought she did it. So they told her how she was being so mean to everyone. "You said that you hated Jenny House."
Remember that about all of these kids are about 7-18 and they just lost the place they were staying at. The kids that were staying there live all over the U.S.A and they are trying to fined out how to get home. Right now they are staying in town in a hotel.
................................................ 12/15/08 Sharing online Journal with Parents
I thought thought that sharing my online journal with my mom was fun. I thought that it was a good idea because it lets our mom and dad know a little on how we are doing in school. I think that we should do something like thins so other time too. It helps to let our mom and dad to know how to help us if we need it. I thought that it help my mom to see how much better I am doing in school. I think that if my mom and I do this every so often that she will see how I am getting better.
............................................... 12/10/08 A Season for Goodbye
One event is that one of the kids got kicked by a horse. I think that this is an important part because Jeff the kid that got kicked has a bleeding disorder. That means that he could die really fast if they do not stop it Because he is missing clotting factor. He was bleeding internally. When ever he bleeds he does a lot and so when the ambulance got there his leg was already swelled with blood. I was at the part where they say if he was going to be OK or not but we had to stop.
The other thing that I think is important is that Lacey got mad at D.J. for not keeping a close eye on Jeff. She said that he was the one that was supposed to watch the the horses that he should have not let the horse kick him. D.J. said that he was his friend why would he want something bad to happen to him.
................................................. 12/8/08 A SEASON FOR GOODBYE
The main character in my book is really helpful. Katie is also really nice to almost everybody. She went to a camp like thing that is called Jenny house and now she is going back this summer. This time she has new people in her group. One of them she thinks is a brat. I think so too her name is Dullas, she is really rude. One time she smacked another girl's horse and made it run. That scared her and she let go of the rains. D.J. said that it could have went wrong if he did not get there in time because the horse could have fell on her. And she could have got really hurt or she could have died.
.................................................. 12/3/08 Mr. McGuire said
You will become a disease expert if you keep reading these books. :) Can you usually relate to the main character? I think for most people that read books by McDaniel that is what keeps them interested.
.................................................. 12/2/08 Please Don't Die
Today in my book a girl named Amanda is in the hospital because she has cancer and they do not have a bone marrow donor for her yet. She was at a place called Jenny House when it happened. They had her on something made out of tree bark. They were trying to make it eat up her cancer cells and not really touch the other ones. It did not do anything but make her really sick. Her friend from Jenny House came to see her everyday and in the book it said that they were almost living in the waiting room.
..................................................
11/18/08 Mother Help Me Live
I think that in the end of my book Sara's mom will give her bone marrow for Sara.I think that Sara will get to see her birth mother a little bit more than what she has been. She will want to be in her life more than what she is now. I think that everything will fall into place for Sara and that she will get what she has wanted all along. I think that when Sara gets the bone marrow she will be a little sick for a little bit but not for long. I think that if all of this will happen that it will have a very good ending.
.................................................. 11/17/08 Mother Help Me Live
There was a part in my book that Sara went to her birth mother's house. I thought that her mom was going to not know what to do and I thought she was going to want to be in her life. I was wrong because her birth mother told her that she did not want to see her that she did not know her. Then her mother slammed the door in her face. Carrie said that when the door was slammed in her face that it felt like a brick smacked her in the face. Then her mom and her went back to the hotel and talked. I thought that her mom was going to say lets go home and we can find bone marrow on line. She did not say one thing like that she said that they were going to go back to her house that she was going to make her.
..................................................
11/15/08 Mother Help Me To Live In my book today Sara has a person that is helping her to fined her real mother. When she sees him for the first time she did not really know what to say. She thought that he was going to look like the ones that are on t.v. He said that he was not going to promise that he would find her and he was not going to promise that he would not find her mother. When he left she said in the book that it felt like forever. When she got home from the hospital her little sister wanted to talk to her. When they were talking her sister wanted to know why they did not ask here to get tested to see if she was a match. Carrie said that because they were not really sisters that it would be a very small chance that they would be a match. .................................................. 11/14/08 Emma H. Said,
Hi Heather, this sounds like a good book. I may read it next. After I finish my book of course. (L.O.L) Your main character sounds like some of the people in sixth grade.You know stubborn. Talk to you latter. :) :) .................................................. 11/14/08 Mother Help Me To Live
My character is very stubborn. Carrie really does not care if she has one thing on her mind she will not change her mind. She likes to keep everything away from everybody. When they get to hard for her to carry any more she tells them to people she does not mean to tell. Carrie my main character just found out that she was adopted and she is 16. She got really mad at her mom and dad because they did not tell her when she was little. Now when she is thinking she will say mom or dad and then says that they are not her mom and dad. .................................................. 11/13/08 Mother Help Me To Live
I like this book. The book has things going on in it that are a little bit like what is going on with one of my mom's friend. I can relate to it so that helps me to understand it a little more than other people. I think that the girl in my book is going to find a person who has the same kind of bone marrow as she does. I think that she will either find her real dad. I also think that if that does not happen she will end up being a match to her sister. .................................................. 11/12/08 Mr. McGuire said
I think McDaniel's books are so popular because they are very consistent. If you like one, you will like them all. If you don't like the first one you read, you probably won't like any of them. .................................................. 11/12/08 Mother Help Me To Live
I like this book because it started out a lot like One Last Wish. It Is also by the same person Lurlene McDaniel. I like this book because she writes her books on something that went on in her life. It is a little bit like my life too. It has a lot of up's and down's too. It is like a roller-coaster ride it even has the stomach sickness too. .................................................. 11/11/08 Gabby L. said
I think I will read this One Last Wish when I'm done with The English Roses. I like the were she went to the mall and she tried it on. .................................................. 11/10/08 Missing Girl
1st thing was that a girl in my book named Carrie has just moved in with a new family.
2nd thing is she started school a little while after she moved in.
3rd thing is that she has no class with Mona the girl she is living with.
4th she met some girls and they sat with her at lunch.
5th then she was eating when she seen Mona sitting by herself. .................................................. 11/7/08 One Last Wish
In my book today Cassie, Dani and Austin made it to the beach. They ate and are in there hotel and Dani tolld Cassie that they should call there mom. Cassie said that she did not want to call their mom yet. She said she wanted to go shopping because she was in the hospital so long that she had not went shopping. They went to the mall and Cassie saw a dress that she wanted and Dani went in and Cassie said that she was a bride to be and so she put on a dress and the person said that it would fit and she was right. Cassie and Dani both said that she looked very nice in it. .................................................. 11/7/08 Mr. McGuire said My daughter, Emily got hooked on Lurlene McDaniels books a few years ago. She read every one she could find, and got upset when she couldn't fin any more to read. They are not my style, but it seems like readers that like them, really like them a lot. .................................................. 11/6/08One Last Wish
In my book today they were on there way to Florida. When Dani and Cassie was in McDonald's because Cassie was getting sick. Austin heard that the cops were looking for them on the radio. When Cassie and Dani came out Cassie could not hold down her medicine. When Austin told Dani that the cops were after them they made a deal that they were not going to turn on the radio. .................................................. 11/5/08One Last Wish
Dani has a big sister who has a brain tumour Dani wants to take a vacation but her mom will not let her. Dani came up with a plan to take her big sister Cassie to Florida. She is trying to make her friend Austin take her all the way down there but he won't because he thinks that the cops will get them on their way. Dani already told her sister that she was going to find a way down there and that Austin was going to take them. While this is all going on their mom does not know about it. Dani told Cassie that they were going to leave notes for there mom. Dani thinks that everything will work but Austin and Cassie are afraid that something will go wrong.

Title:Send Me Down a Miracle
Start Time:1:40 End Time:2:07
I am still reading Send Me Down a Miracle. This still a good part if you don't like the first part of it you should Keep on reading because it get a lot better. My book is a the part where Charity is no longer aloud to go and see Adrienne. Charity's dad got mad because every one that is living in that town is going and worshipping a CHAIR they think that it is the holy chair and the God sat in it. I think that every one is just thinking what they want to think and not about what is real. Charity thinks that is all real too. Here is one good reason I would never go bake because Adrienne gave her what they call the devils drink which is really wine. Charity said that it was not good but she most not have listened because Adrienne pored her a glass too and told that back in L.A infants drink it and that it did not do anything to them.
Charity took the drink and she swallowed. She said that it burned and then is kind of tasted sweet like she was in L.A. with Adrienne. Then Old Higgs puled up and so Charity hid her glass so he would see it because if he did he would tell her dad. Anna went missing but they found her and that is what her came to say and while he was telling them he seen her glass. All that he did was smile at her tolled her to tell
her dad that they found Anna. He also said that He wanted to pray to the chair again that night but Adrienne she would not be home. Old Higgs did not know if they were aloud or not but when went to ask again she was already in the house.
1/23/09 All about my book
I am reading a book that is called Send Me Down a Miracle. I think that it is very good book. If you read this book at the beginning it is a little boring but them wants you get some were in it you just can't really find a place to stop because it has so many things going on that there is not a boring part well so far any way. My book is manly about this girl that is an artist and has moved to this small little town and every one likes her or that is how they are acting now but at the beginning they acted like they did not like her. All by the way her name is Adrienne. So right now everyone likes her but Charity's dad any way.Charity's dad is a very big God believer and Adrienne really does not think that there is a real god. Charity likes the artist because she said that she had the soul of an artist and the her soul was Charity's soul.
Then they went to a picnic that Charity's dad has every year and that is when Adrienne came out of her house after 1 month. The reason that she was in there was because she was trying to think of new ways for her art well that is what I think she was doing. When she came though she said that god came to see her and that he was in her chair and every time that he would come back he would look even more beautiful than the time before. When she said that it made everyone want to see the chair and that they would do anything so that they could. but the Mad Joe stood in front of the door so that could not go in but they were ready to go through him too. That was when Charity's dad stepped up and said that he did not think god really came to see her. Then Charity thought that Adrienne was crying and so she ran and started telling people to leave that they were making it bad for everyone.
....................................................
1/22/09 Persuade
I would persuade my character to be less obsessed with this artist. I would do that because all she thinks about is how Adrienne would do something. She just got this new outfit and is going to wear it to Sunday school but she only wanted it because Adrienne wears. I think she should have her thoughts and stiles because if she is the same as her then it will get very BORING! She should also think about herself a little bit more I mean it's good that she thinks about other people but she still needs to think about your self. I think she should think about herself because she has a very low self thought like she thinks that she should have to look like Adrienne to look O.k. Her thinking about other people and only thinking that she looks OK because she looks like someone else and only wanting to do and to look like Adrienne are very bad habits. That's the reason that I think she should change those things.
.........................................................
1/21/09 Send Me Down a Miracle
One big thing that happened in my book today is that the people in the little town are having a big picnic. And that their is a women who just moved in and she is an artist and right now really no one likes her. The picnic is a big thing because the artist wants to make it up to people for not being nice from the start. At the picnic they have a coffin as the ice box because the people that are selling them think that if they use the coffin for other things that people will want to by one.

1/6/09 Opinion on my main character
One opinion of my main character Dawn is that she is scared of what might happen to her. She has leukaemia. She always wants to cry. She would not leave her room at her house so her dad led her out. I also think that she is strong because she has a lot on her hands and she wont even cry. She keeps telling herself not to cry that it want help at all. She keeps trying to make it out that she is not scared so that her mom and dad will not be. I also think that she is a very caring person.She has another person that is staying in the same room with her and when she got back from her treatment Dawn tried to talk to her. The girl Sandy was to week to talk bake she could barley move so the doctor had to pick her up and put her into her bed. I over all think that Dawn is a very good and strong person bot deep down she is very scared of what is going to happen next.

1/5/09 My Goals
(1 One of my goals is to make my handwriting better.
(2 I would also like to learn how to read faster that what I do.
The reason that I want to make my handwriting better is so that people can read it essayer. Like when we are getting a test graded the teacher could read it if I make it netter. If I made my handwriting better it could bring my grade up because they could read it. I think that good handwriting is very important. I think that it is important because then not only you but every body could read it a lot better. The main reason that I want my hand writing to be better is so that people can read it. That is way I want to make my handwriting better.
I want to learn how to read faster so that I can get more books read. I also want to get a lot of books read so that I will know what I want to read when I am in junior high. I want books to make more since to me and if I can read faster it will make more since. I want to have almost 100 books read by the end of the year. I also think that the more that you read the better off that you will be. I want to read faster so that I can finish the books that I am reading. If I am on a book the has one or two more books with it then I could just go from one book to the other.

12/16/08 The Problem in My Book
In my book, the kids that are staying at Jenny House for the summer are having a problem. Well unless you don't think that Jenny House burning down is not a problem. The fire all started in an elevator shaft. Katie, Lacey and Chellsea thought that Dullas started the fire and they blamed it all on her. Then they found out the truth. The girls all said that they were sorry and she asked why that they thought she did it. So they told her how she was being so mean to everyone. "You said that you hated Jenny House."
Remember that about all of these kids are about 7-18 and they just lost the place they were staying at. The kids that were staying there live all over the U.S.A and they are trying to fined out how to get home. Right now they are staying in town in a hotel.

12/15/08 Sharing online Journal with Parents
I thought thought that sharing my online journal with my mom was fun. I thought that it was a good idea because it lets our mom and dad know a little on how we are doing in school. I think that we should do something like thins so other time too. It helps to let our mom and dad to know how to help us if we need it. I thought that it help my mom to see how much better I am doing in school. I think that if my mom and I do this every so often that she will see how I am getting better.
...............................................
12/10/08 A Season for Goodbye
One event is that one of the kids got kicked by a horse. I think that this is an important part because Jeff the kid that got kicked has a bleeding disorder. That means that he could die really fast if they do not stop it Because he is missing clotting factor. He was bleeding internally. When ever he bleeds he does a lot and so when the ambulance got there his leg was already swelled with blood. I was at the part where they say if he was going to be OK or not but we had to stop.
The other thing that I think is important is that Lacey got mad at D.J. for not keeping a close eye on Jeff. She said that he was the one that was supposed to watch the the horses that he should have not let the horse kick him. D.J. said that he was his friend why would he want something bad to happen to him.
.................................................
12/8/08 A SEASON FOR GOODBYE
The main character in my book is really helpful. Katie is also really nice to almost everybody. She went to a camp like thing that is called Jenny house and now she is going back this summer. This time she has new people in her group. One of them she thinks is a brat. I think so too her name is Dullas, she is really rude. One time she smacked another girl's horse and made it run. That scared her and she let go of the rains. D.J. said that it could have went wrong if he did not get there in time because the horse could have fell on her. And she could have got really hurt or she could have died.

You will become a disease expert if you keep reading these books. :) Can you usually relate to the main character? I think for most people that read books by McDaniel that is what keeps them interested.

12/2/08 Please Don't Die
Today in my book a girl named Amanda is in the hospital because she has cancer and they do not have a bone marrow donor for her yet. She was at a place called Jenny House when it happened. They had her on something made out of tree bark. They were trying to make it eat up her cancer cells and not really touch the other ones. It did not do anything but make her really sick. Her friend from Jenny House came to see her everyday and in the book it said that they were almost living in the waiting room.
..................................................
11/18/08 Mother Help Me Live
I think that in the end of my book Sara's mom will give her bone marrow for Sara.I think that Sara will get to see her birth mother a little bit more than what she has been. She will want to be in her life more than what she is now. I think that everything will fall into place for Sara and that she will get what she has wanted all along. I think that when Sara gets the bone marrow she will be a little sick for a little bit but not for long. I think that if all of this will happen that it will have a very good ending.
..................................................
11/17/08 Mother Help Me Live
There was a part in my book that Sara went to her birth mother's house. I thought that her mom was going to not know what to do and I thought she was going to want to be in her life. I was wrong because her birth mother told her that she did not want to see her that she did not know her. Then her mother slammed the door in her face. Carrie said that when the door was slammed in her face that it felt like a brick smacked her in the face. Then her mom and her went back to the hotel and talked. I thought that her mom was going to say lets go home and we can find bone marrow on line. She did not say one thing like that she said that they were going to go back to her house that she was going to make her.
..................................................
11/15/08 Mother Help Me To Live
In my book today Sara has a person that is helping her to fined her real mother. When she sees him for the first time she did not really know what to say. She thought that he was going to look like the ones that are on t.v. He said that he was not going to promise that he would find her and he was not going to promise that he would not find her mother. When he left she said in the book that it felt like forever. When she got home from the hospital her little sister wanted to talk to her. When they were talking her sister wanted to know why they did not ask here to get tested to see if she was a match. Carrie said that because they were not really sisters that it would be a very small chance that they would be a match.

11/14/08 Emma H. Said,
Hi Heather, this sounds like a good book. I may read it next. After I finish my book of course. (L.O.L) Your main character sounds like some of the people in sixth grade.You know stubborn. Talk to you latter. :) :)
..................................................
11/14/08 Mother Help Me To Live
My character is very stubborn. Carrie really does not care if she has one thing on her mind she will not change her mind. She likes to keep everything away from everybody. When they get to hard for her to carry any more she tells them to people she does not mean to tell. Carrie my main character just found out that she was adopted and she is 16. She got really mad at her mom and dad because they did not tell her when she was little. Now when she is thinking she will say mom or dad and then says that they are not her mom and dad.
..................................................
11/13/08 Mother Help Me To Live
I like this book. The book has things going on in it that are a little bit like what is going on with one of my mom's friend. I can relate to it so that helps me to understand it a little more than other people. I think that the girl in my book is going to find a person who has the same kind of bone marrow as she does. I think that she will either find her real dad. I also think that if that does not happen she will end up being a match to her sister.
..................................................
11/12/08 Mr. McGuire said
I think McDaniel's books are so popular because they are very consistent. If you like one, you will like them all. If you don't like the first one you read, you probably won't like any of them.
..................................................
11/12/08 Mother Help Me To Live
I like this book because it started out a lot like One Last Wish. It Is also by the same person Lurlene McDaniel. I like this book because she writes her books on something that went on in her life. It is a little bit like my life too. It has a lot of up's and down's too. It is like a roller-coaster ride it even has the stomach sickness too.

I think I will read this One Last Wish when I'm done with The English Roses. I like the were she went to the mall and she tried it on.

11/7/08 One Last Wish
In my book today Cassie, Dani and Austin made it to the beach. They ate and are in there hotel and Dani tolld Cassie that they should call there mom. Cassie said that she did not want to call their mom yet. She said she wanted to go shopping because she was in the hospital so long that she had not went shopping. They went to the mall and Cassie saw a dress that she wanted and Dani went in and Cassie said that she was a bride to be and so she put on a dress and the person said that it would fit and she was right. Cassie and Dani both said that she looked very nice in it.

11/7/08 Mr. McGuire said
My daughter, Emily got hooked on Lurlene McDaniels books a few years ago. She read every one she could find, and got upset when she couldn't fin any more to read. They are not my style, but it seems like readers that like them, really like them a lot.
..................................................
11/6/08 One Last Wish
In my book today they were on there way to Florida. When Dani and Cassie was in McDonald's because Cassie was getting sick. Austin heard that the cops were looking for them on the radio. When Cassie and Dani came out Cassie could not hold down her medicine. When Austin told Dani that the cops were after them they made a deal that they were not going to turn on the radio.
..................................................
11/5/08 One Last Wish
Dani has a big sister who has a brain tumour Dani wants to take a vacation but her mom will not let her. Dani came up with a plan to take her big sister Cassie to Florida. She is trying to make her friend Austin take her all the way down there but he won't because he thinks that the cops will get them on their way. Dani already told her sister that she was going to find a way down there and that Austin was going to take them. While this is all going on their mom does not know about it.
